Accepting what's right.

I am sitting in my kitchen surrounded by five children, two of my own and three belonging to a friend who is staying from London. I adore my children but the constant need to think of something to do or even what I should cook for lunch is beginning to exhaust me. Apparently, the summer holidays were invented because the farmers needed their children to help them with the harvest many moons ago. I am not sure that happens any more! I also wonder how many working parents would prefer to have four terms rather than three.

Ok,getting off my soap box now. Last Saturday,I was lucky enough to have some media coverage and this brought one particular person, that I am very much looking forward to working with. Strangely, I had been trying to contact them a while ago but maybe the time is right now. All things happen in perfect timing. more on that when I have permission to share this.

The last few weeks have brought lots of changes for me, and this time I am embracing them. In the past, I have had regrets and did not listen to my intuition allowing myself to get more and more hurt. It's time to dedicate everything to being who I am and not what others want me to be. We can not ever be something to please others, and when this realisation hits home it's almost like taking a huge sigh of relief.

I hate the thought of getting old and am happy to admit that I will be first in the queue when they find the fountain of youth. Cliche it may be, but older does mean wiser. I am looking forward now to what life will bring, new challenges and new beginnings. I am grateful to those who have taught me lessons and wish them well with the rest of their lives.

We can only do our best and if the best isn't good enough for some people in our lives then they are not the best for for us.
